Huston We Have Mud & The Beginnings of Floors!

Melting man is DH sitting under the shade of our 3 redwood trees in 96 degrees F heat while floor guys begin the installation of new flooring...

I, on the other hand, am too excited to be much bothered by the heat and keep running inside to check on progress...all the while drawing little pictures to while away the time... I even was able to put my feet up and relax some..

This is the tile that will be mostly hidden by the washer and dryer in our small laundry area.

I chose a dark color with lots of variations/shades that I felt

would not show dirt easily!!!

I love the lines made by the "mud rake" upon which the tile is laid.

Huston, we have mud!

The laminate guy senior sawed off the lip on each stair!

Laminate guy jr seen connecting the puzzle pieces together!

Main tile guy almost got the kitchen floor completely laid, but the saw broke and they had to call it a day around 4 PM.

This is a more golden
color called of all things "Gold Coast"!

Also with plenty of variation of shades to be a hider of dirt.

Do you get that cleaning floors is not exactly my favorite thing?

Laminate guy Jr finished the living room floor before they left for the day.

No its huston we have FLOORS and wonderful floors. I think the colors go with your cabinets I see and wont show the dirt like light or real dark will. Good choices.Loved your drawings. Glad it wasnt 110 out there today. Its almost done.. yippie.

I know you can't wait to move all those workman out...and the noise...and just enjoy the beautiful new floors. What a change. Congratulations for seeing your goals to the end. What a great testimony to your family about patience and perseverance. Two old virtues of the past.

I really can't relate to the heat. It has been really cool here. Nice that you have some shade.

LOLO, your comment made me laugh out loud...no, we did not win the lottery, however that is exactly how I have been feeling. But the truth is I am simply using $$$ I have saved diligently over the years just for this purpose and finally had enough to do the deed!!! I DON'T LIKE DEBT AND HAVE ALWAYS PRACTICED BEING FRUGAL aNd and only buying what I could afford at the time. I even once saved for a car and bought it outright.

Oh but you won the New Home Lottery! Fabulous choices.Your tile looks to be nearly the same as we used at the lake,,the dirt hider element sure has paid off there.Also like the color choice on your wood flooring. We went darker than that,,,a mistake I'm not admitting to The Boyfriend. Every little thing shows. I selected the stain, so I'm not admitting to anything.But I still like it anyway.Wonderful drawings Lynn,,,!

Laminate floorинг is much better than carpet or any other floor. Great choice. In my opinion looks very nice and it's easy to clean. For example if you have carpets at home from time to time you will need to hire carpet cleaners , but with laminate no need.

On Saturday I stopped off in Fairfield on Rockville Road...across the street from an old Victorian we lived in for a year and a half in 1985...

About Lynn Cohen

I started my blog, formerly called "Getting My Feet Wet" in 2007. Then I was posting mainly art quilts and photos of family happenings. In more recent years I started drawing and in 2014 became a regular student in Sketchbook Skool. My art has grown expeditiously since then. Now you will be following along my day to day happenings, as I chronicle them in art journals with ink, colored pencils, watercolor and most recently, Copic markers, which are alcohol based and blend really well. I hope you enjoy the journey with me.

My Art Journal Where I draw nearly daily. You are invited to follow along.

Remembering Patty 1940-2013

Patty and I were best friends for 73 years! I loved playing with her as a little girl living across the street from each other, and I loved playing with her as adult women. Neither of us had a sense of direction and we had fun getting lost in nearby towns and laughing trying to find the car that we may have walked by who knows how many times! I miss that laughter and that friendship. Patty was also my best art critic (she loved everything I did and had pieces of it hanging in every room of her home) Thank you Patty.
